This book and the Cyberpunk 2020 RPG ignited my love for Cyberpunk in general when I was a kid and it hasn't waned since :)

I must be a few years older than you are. It was the original Cyberpunk (set in 2013, published in 1988) that did it for me.

One of the things I remember about the game was that it came with a suggested book and film list. Reading all those books, and tracking down the recommended films was something of a quest for me and my friends. That last part sounds trivial, but if your local video rental store didn't happen to have a copy of 1982's art-house weirdo indie film Liquid Sky, it was a real challenge.

Synth genius. I actually have it on vinyl.

To my shame I'd never heard of that film before but the whole thing is availble on YouTube for free https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyIhqT5bkEM

Yes! and Shadowrun! I remember just binging William Gibson after that, until Johnny Mnemonic, Hackers (the movie), and Strange Days, came out. What a great decade.

When The Matrix came out and before I saw it, I thought it was a Shadowrun aware reference to cyberspace rather than the twist of it being 'reality'.

But the system... A Physical Adept rolling like 42 d6's is just redonkulous :D
